Dispersal and Space Use of Captive-Reared and Wild-Rehabilitated Harpy Eagles Released in Central American Landscapes: Implications for Reintroduction and Reinforcement Management

open access: yesDiversity, 2022
Understanding the spatial context of animal movements is fundamental for the establishment and management of protected areas. We tracked, by telemetry devices, 31 captive-reared and 5 wild-rehabilitated Harpia harpyja and estimated the dispersal and ...

Effects of compositional heterogeneity and spatial autocorrelation on richness and diversity in simulated landscapes

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2023
Landscape structure plays a key role in mediating a variety of ecological processes affecting biodiversity patterns; however, its precise effects and the mechanisms underpinning them remain unclear.

Heterogeneity in the gene regulatory landscape of leiomyosarcoma

open access: yesNAR Cancer, 2022
Soft-tissue sarcomas are group of rare, tremendously heterogeneous, and highly aggressive malignancies. Characterizing inter-tumor heterogeneity is crucial for selecting suitable sarcoma therapy, as the presence of diverse molecular subgroups of patients can be associated with disease outcome or response to treatment.

Comparison of Various Annual Land Cover Datasets in the Yellow River Basin

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2023
Accurate land cover (LC) datasets are the basis for global environmental and climate change studies. Recently, numerous open-source annual LC datasets have been created due to advances in remote sensing technology.

Biodiversity as spatial insurance in heterogeneous landscapes [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2003
The potential consequences of biodiversity loss for ecosystem functioning and services at local scales have received considerable attention during the last decade, but little is known about how biodiversity affects ecosystem processes and stability at larger spatial scales.

Selecting Graph Metrics with Ecological Significance for Deepening Landscape Characterization: Review and Applications

open access: yesLand, 2022
The usual approaches to describing and understanding ecological processes in a landscape use patch-mosaic models based on traditional landscape metrics. However, they do not consider that many of these processes cannot be observed without considering the

Why Do Agroforestry Systems Enhance Biodiversity? Evidence From Habitat Amount Hypothesis Predictions

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Considering the present ecological crisis, land use-biodiversity relationships have become a major topic in landscape planning, ecosystem management and ecological restoration.

Landscape variation in soil carbon stocks and respiration in an Arctic tundra ecosystem, west Greenland

open access: yesArctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, 2018
The magnitude and acceleration of carbon dioxide emissions from warming Arctic tundra soil is an important part of the Region’s influence on the Earth’s climate system.

Assessment of the quality of the terrestrial habitat of the threatened dragonfly, Sympetrum depressiusculum (Odonata: Libellulidae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2016
The majority of the conservation strategies for threatened dragonflies are designed to protect only their aquatic habitats. Sympetrum depressiusculum is a species threatened not only by the destruction of its aquatic habitats but also by its association ...

Heterogeneity in African savanna elephant distributions and their impacts on trees in Kruger National Park, South Africa

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
Though elephants are a major cause of savanna tree mortality and threaten vulnerable tree species, managing their impact remains difficult, in part because relatively little is known about how elephant impacts are distributed throughout space.
